At this moment, the United States Chess Championship is taking place in Saint Louis at the [Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis](http://saintlouischessclub.org). This tournament has been hailed as the youngest and strongest US Championship in history! As much as I would love to blog extensively about this event, I will be taking a few weeks off from writing and posting so that I can spend some much needed time with my family. I will still be watching on [ChessBomb](http://www.chessbomb.com) and taking notes in preparation for a tournament report when I return. Until then, I bid you farewell until the end of April.
